Final 2013 UGA Football Strength of Schedule Rankings

Prior to the season, Georgia’s 2013 football schedule was rated as the 23rd toughest overall by Phil Steele. Let’s take a look at where their strength of schedule ended up in the final rankings.

The NCAA uses the winning percentage of the opposition for computing their “toughest schedule” ranking. The BCS computer components use their own method for calculating strength of schedule. The five indexes available are Anderson & Hester, Colley Matrix, Jeff Sagarin, Kenneth Massey, and Billingsley Report.

Using the six strength of schedule sources below, the average SOS ranking of Georgia’s 2013 football schedule was 7.5.

Jeff Sagarin’s ratings, which are published by USA Today, have Georgia’s schedule rated as the 8th toughest in the country. Sagarin’s top 5 are Stanford, Arizona State, Utah, California, and Washington State.
